Under redundant, see redundant

Sign in visitor's washroom, retirement home, Vancouver, BC

Visitor's washroom, retirement home, Vancouver, BC

I saw this in the washroom of a retirement home that I visited over Christmas.

The sign makes no sense to me at all. The text should read either "Place hand towels in basket after use" or "Place used hand towels in basket". The inclusion of both "used" and "use" is the directions redundant.

I'm surprised that the seniors in residence have not rebelled and corrected the sign. Or perhaps I'm just getting too pedantic in my old age.
